Doing that will ensure that nothing you do on Windows will affect the Linux or BSD installation.

This article presents a step-by-step guide on how to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6. read more...

Now that you know what the overall goal is, how do you get from here to there? First, understand that if you have a computer running Windows 7, that Windows 7′s boot manager is responsible for making sure that the system boots.
